This sounds weird but sometimes when I feel overwhelmed I'll go back and watch these old US history videos, John is such a great guy and I originally watched these at a much simpler time in my life
Ah yes, Late-night cramming the day before the APUSH exam is a most joyous pass time in which sleep eludes you and the feeling of unpreparedness slips away in a bought a euphoria as you listen to the melodious voice of John Green.
... I DEADASS FORGOT HE WROTE BOOKS!! I read all of them a few years ago and then high school hit i I replaced John green fiction with John green crash course
Watching this series has helped me appreciate how recent all of these events and changes have taken place. The causes and effects feel obviously connected to my life in a way I couldn't appreciate before. All of this makes me incredibly excited and terribly nervous for the not yet written history of our nation and the world.
Emily VanDerEems hello! lol My teacher was on maternity leave for the portion on the years of the Gilded Age and Western Expansion, so.....yay for making low-production quality/budget documentaries? Anyway....I really need this video
This is such a great boon as a supplemental educational resource, that is neither dry nor boring. Thanks CC team for creating such an entertaining, informative, and enjoyable series of educational videos for the knowledge-enthusiasts in a manner that enhances our joy of learning !
This is seriously one of my favorite era's of American history. I spent my senior year with my interdisciplinary party hat on discussing the Art, Economics, and Social history (three different seminars!) of this era, so it was great to touch on the politics that I didn't quite get to delve into. Plus I absolutely LOVE political cartoons! Great episode, one of my favorites.
Nikko Kelaidis Yep. I for the most part agree with the idea of not holding a group responsible for the actions of their forefathers... But if you are white & can watch all of these & not feel any hint of “Well that was WRONG,” then I fully agree with the idea there is something wrong with you.
+孙明亮 It is a test for Advanced Placement classes. They are sponsered by "The College Board" and are considered the highest level of classes in American high schools. At the end of the class you take a test to determine how well you did in the class.
To learn about US history because the only thing I learned in my country about the US is that it gained independence in 1776... which doesn't tell me ANYTHING about what happened after that.
Fun fact: In "The Wizard of Oz" the cowardly lion is a representation of a single person - William J. Bryan, as opposed to allusions to whole classes (Scarecrow - farmers, Tin Man - industrial workers and such)
That is true. It's probably one of my all time favorite books. But on the note of Crash Course, thanks for refreshing my memory on APUSH for my midterm.
I couldn't figure out how to start my own comment, but YOU SIR, are a genius! You fit so much information in to your presentations. I use your videos in my class all the time. Thank you.
The US tends to go through rises and falls of equality. It's well established we're in a second gilded age by most economists like Krugman. The reason why we're in a second gilded age is due to capital accumulation from automation and labor saving technologies, the same thing that happened in the industrial age. Only this time, we're experiencing rising inequality from the computer and AI revolutions. It will likely end in another great depression. Bubbles can't last forever and eventually pop.
I'm not actually here because of apush, I'm here because I have a college us history class, zero energy to finish the chapter, and an entire damn essay due 😭😭
My APUSH Summer Assignment was reading a book in the Gilded Age and I was having trouble understanding the last chapter which was basically about free silver and that whole debate. This helped a lot
I'm so impressed you guys showed a sketch of WWE's "the undertaker" during the mystery doc script. Cheers to one hello of an obscure reference! Love the show!
John Green helped me pass my history tests. Even though I haven't gotten my grade back yet and given I find history very dry and difficult, I probably failed.
I have to do a project on the Gilded Age and Civil Rights (not put together) and I just found out there was crash course for US History and I am soooo happy right now
Arthur Sewall, who was William Jennings Bryan's first running mate, is actually my great uncle. He was a business man from Maine who was put on the ticket in order to sway the Northern business vote and he was also a member of a religious movement based off of the writings of a man named Emmanuel Swedenborg.
i was cleaning my room while i had this video on, i was only listening to it. but at times during the video, i could have swore you stopped talking about the Gilded Age and started talking about today
We read Plunkitt of Tammany Hall in my freshman year of college. There are a lot of parallels between their type of politics and our... Citizens United era of political history.
I too would love it if an economics CC could be made. Love these videos! I use them in class to give students an overview before we dig deeper. Thanks!
That moment when you realize this exist before the midterm exams.... and you just want to cry, and cry, and cry for living under a rock for far too long. FML
Mr. Green! Mr. Green! The points you make to your "past self" regarding the humanities, history in specific, and the lifelong commitment to continual education that is necessary to ensure that a person is adequately knowledgeable and a well rounded human being functioning confidently and independently in our society at large, among many, many others, are well observed on your part and, apparently, eventually very well learned on his. With all of that said and duly considered, Ifeel that I need to point out that, in my view, the apparent harshness, derision, and, occasionally, even cold condescension that you level upon your younger (and by consequence less experienced, wise, and even tempered) self seems to speak volumes about how you think of the person who you used to be and who, in fact, eventually helped to make you into who you are. I like to think that I get it, of course; it's a bit, after all, and isn't meant to offer fodder for lazy and untrained psychoanalysis. What it's ACTUALLY meant to do, so far as I can work out (as a former professional facilitator), is two-fold. First and foremost, the bit allows you, whenever you choose, to establish a comedic tone early in the episode or to bring to bear some necessary comic relief with Young John's appearances closer to the end of episodes. The second thing that the bit accomplishes, which is quite practical and well thought out (and which demonstrated to me not only your prowess as an educator, but also your impressive fundamental understanding of how to best utilize your chosen medium of UA-cam), is that it gives your high school student, classroom audiences a character within the world of the show that they are given to understand that they can relate to, and he is generally presented both near the beginnings and the endings of episodes. The very first time I saw this in action I realized that if you are at all successful at getting your viewers to relate to your Young John, it will serve to draw them in by leading the viewers to imagine themselves sharing a classroom with YJ. This, in turn, strongly strengthens the effect which you already create when you talk directly down the barrel of the camera, the effect that you are speaking directly to each individual viewer on her or his own. In the end, these choices, which I have to assume were given strong thought before being implemented, layer together to create the feeling or notion that the viewer is in an energetic but attentive classroom environment being instructed by an EXCELLENT teacher that is, somehow, providing each and every pupil with his full and undivided attention. This is just one of the many facets of your productions that clearly show me how good you are at what you do. Thank you for all of the excellent videos and the education! Please keep it up!

I've found watching many Crash Course US History episodes in a row is actually really depressing...

I don't live in US, but I LOVE history. And I have one question: what the hell is an AP test?
+孙明亮 It is a test for Advanced Placement classes. They are sponsered by "The College Board" and are considered the highest level of classes in American high schools. At the end of the class you take a test to determine how well you did in the class.
You also earn college credit if you score high enough. Essentially you're taking a college class in high school.
AP test stands for Armor-Piercing, and if you pay attention to American News you know how well Armor-Piercing ammunition does in the classrooms
+孙明亮 Advanced placement. Im in AP everything. Im also homeschooled.
+Yoko Bongo you have to pay for yours?😤
"That leaves the Supreme Court untainted, but don't worry, the Dred Scott Decision is worth at least, like, eighty years of tainting."

And now my love for twain has increased. Seriously, the man was awesome.
Anyone else get stoned and watch these at 75% speed? Nobody delivers information faster and more efficiently than John Green.
Finally, some quotes from people who actually talk like people!
Watching all the crash course videos the night before the test and still hoping to pass. Lol. I'm an awful student.

i've been up all night watching these. good luck fellow APUSHers
Your videos really help me study for my history college course thank you :)
I passed my college class with an A+, thanks to this guy :)
My APUSH Summer Assignment was reading a book in the Gilded Age and I was having trouble understanding the last chapter which was basically about free silver and that whole debate. This helped a lot

I feel like at times John’s eyes are staring deep into my soul, judging me on my procrastination in studying
John Green helped me pass my history tests. Even though I haven't gotten my grade back yet and given I find history very dry and difficult, I probably failed.
When you have to write an essay about the Gilden age tomorrow for APUSH 😅🙌🏻
Same I have mine May 6, and im kinda nervous. :T
Luckyy, the test was okay when I took it about a month and a half ago.
More like "When you have to write an essay about the Gilded Age that's due in > 30 minutes (SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!)"

Thank you Crash Course for the Rush reference at 2:22 ... it helped me feel better during my cram studying
Remember when this used to be history? Now it's the present.
What's wrong with America today?! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm totally not cramming for a apush essay!!! I, a non procrastinating good student, am watching this without stress! :,)
im watching this and the rest of the playlist at 2x speed
so to study for finals I've found that watching every episode of crash course us history might be my best chance for a decent grade
These videos are really helpful in my history class. Thanks.
Love John from the past's t-shirt. "My Patronus is a bookworm" I really don't think you can get any nerdier than that. I may have to go buy one.
